Abstract: Provided is a non-stick cooking container, comprising a container body, in which the container body comprises a ribbed inner surface, the ribbed inner surface comprising a plurality of ribs and grooves arranged at regular intervals, a non-stick coating covering the surfaces of the ribs and the grooves, the ribs comprising a top surface, the grooves comprising a bottom surface. It is difficult to scratch or chip off the non-stick coating of the non-stick cooking container, which allows the cooking container to retain the non-stick properties over a long period.
Abstract: The invention relates to a handle for a cooking vessel that includes at least one thermoelectric generator. The thermoelectric generator includes at least a first contact surface thermally connected to a heat sink and the heat sink is formed from a material that undergoes a phase transition when heated to temperatures varying between 50° C. and 70° C.
Abstract: Provided is a milk-based drink production device with a connection system designed to work with a steam output nozzle tip of a coffee maker, where said connection system has a connected position, in which a watertight connection is formed between the steam output nozzle tip and the device, and a disconnected position, in which the device may be separated from the steam output nozzle tip, and the device contains a frothing system which shifts between an installed position on the device and a position removed from the device. The device contains extraction safety mechanisms which prevent the frothing system from moving from the installed position to the removed position when the connection system is in the connected position and/or connection safety mechanisms which prevent the connection system from moving from the disconnected position to the connected position when the frothing system is not in the installed position.
Abstract: The invention relates to an assembly having a refill and an appliance designed for using the refill, the appliance having an insertion guide along which the refill travels, the refill having an element that serves as a use memory and the accommodating structure having a relief that acts on said element when the refill is fitted on the appliance for the first time, so as to cause it to pass from an inactive configuration to an active configuration, the accommodating structure having a locking member disposed to as to intercept said element when the latter is in the active configuration, while the refill is being fitted in and removed from the accommodating structure, the locking member can be passed over by said element in the direction of removal of the refill and such that the locking member prevents said element from passing in the direction of insertion of the refill.
